Updated Core Libraries of the ALPS Project

The open source ALPS (Algorithms and Libraries for Physics Simulations) project provides a collection of physics libraries and applications, with a focus on simulations of lattice models and strongly correlated systems. The libraries provide a convenient set of well-documented and reusable components for developing condensed matter physics simulation code, and the applications strive to make commonly used and proven computational algorithms available to a non-expert community. In this paper we present an updated and refactored version of the core ALPS libraries geared at the computational physics software development community, rewritten with focus on documentation, ease of installation, and software maintainability.

开源的 ALPS（物理模拟算法与库）项目提供了一系列物理库和应用，其核心在于晶格模型及强关联系统的模拟。这些库为发展凝聚态物理模拟代码提供了方便、详尽且可重用的组件集合，同时应用部分致力于将广泛使用且经过验证的计算算法提供给非专业用户群体。在本文中，我们展示了针对计算物理软件开发社区的核心 ALPS 库的更新与重构版本，此版本在文档编写、安装便捷性和软件可维护性方面进行了重点优化。
